A Roundabout Way

“You know how you often go to restaurants with your friend Maria?” N asks.

“Yes.”

“I also want to go to a restaurant with Maria.”

“With my friend Maria?”

“No, with my friend Maria.”

“But you don’t have a friend called Maria.”

“Exactly!”

“Honey, what do you want?” I ask.

“I want to go to a restaurant with a friend but since I don’t have a friend, I’d like to go by myself.”
